typical pet, always finding the warmest place in the house...... 

is it your MR2 ? I'm a big fan of the MR2 in any guise and one of those MK3's made our short list a few years ago, but we ended up with an MX5 instead. Boring practicality, the MX5 could take us on holiday but SWMBO said the MR2 was too small.  And then several years later I bought an old 1980s Mk1 and we went round Scotland in it complete with both boots full of luggage and the dog in the passenger footwell. (SWMBO thought it was great)

Good to hear you're on the up. Keep at it !

Ahh, you've pressed my nostalgia button.....   

I wanted a Mk3 because it was supposed to be the modern version of the Mk1, which we both wanted back in the 80s but couldn't afford. So after we moved here I bought an old Mk1 to "scratch that itch" and it ended up staying for 3 years including that Scottish tour. Ironically it wasn't much bigger than the Mk3 but this time it was "great".

Richard sure does great work!

Wow, now that's stunning paintwork. And everything else really,  although I must admit it's a bit too eye-catching for me to drive around town !

A great addition to any toybox though.....

Yes lovely paint and looks great,... mostly. But what's with the rectangular headlights, that spoils it for me.

[EuropaTC]

He did a couple with square headlights, I think they were trendy at the time.  I've got to admit I think they spoil the lines having seen one in "the plastic", but each to their own....
